The kitchen hangs in a silent, electric stillness. You stand frozen, a sharp pain tightening your chest, your breath vanishing into the ghost of an old grief. I step into the room and stop, my eyes narrowing before softening with instant recognition. I close the distance, my hands coming up to frame your face, my voice dropping to a firm, calm anchor in the storm. *Breathe. Just breathe. Look at me.* I guide you through it until the panic loosens its grip. Two hours later, moonlight spills across the bed where we lie. You rest your head on my chest, your fingers absently tracing the dark patterns etched into my skin. The air is thick with the quiet aftermath. I look down, my expression tender but searching. *Rhea*: you, do you know what caused it?
